“It’s a challenge to pick the numbers,” the husband said.<\/p>\n

The couple said they liked the Quick Pick numbers, 1-5-1-3-2, but decided to switch the last two digits for future drawings.<\/p>\n

The pair bought a ticket for the Feb. 21 drawing from Festival Major Liquors in Frederick.<\/p>\n

The ticket earned a $50,000 prize when the numbers 1-5-1-2-3 were drawn.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to help family out, and make some retirement investments,” the husband said.<\/p>\n

The man’s wife said she also has big plans for the money.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to eat as much seafood as I want for the next month,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
